MRS. ALBERT A. JENSEN DIES OF INJURIES OF FALL

RUPTURED SPLEEN GIVEN AS CAUSE OF SUDDEN DEATH

Mrs. Albert A. Jensen, 58, of Papillion, Nebraska succumbed on the operating table Wednesday evening at St. Joseph's Hospital in Omaha.

Mr. and Mrs. Jensen had just returned Monday from a month's vacation in California where they visited their daughter, Mrs. Chas. Dotson, and family of San Francisco and with other relatives on the west coast.

While making a stop near Kingsfish, Oklahoma on Sunday evening, Mrs. Jensen accidentally fell, but not thinking it to be serious, they drove on to Lincoln for a short visit with their son, Gerald and family. After consulting a doctor at that place, they continued on to Omaha where she entered the hospital and submitted to an operation.

Mrs. Jensen is survived by her husband and six children: (Helen) Mrs. Donald Ludwig of Ralston; (LaVerne) Mrs. Paul Hancock of Omaha; (Mariam) Mrs. Chas Dotson of San Francisco; Gerald of Lincoln; and Bobby of Papillion.
